Why I Teach

In my classes, I introduce the laws, regulations and ethical framework needed to make sound legal and business decisions. I use real-life case studies to examine a variety of issues. I ask students to distinguish “can” from “should” as a premise of ethical critical thinking.

If the purpose of living is to become the best human being one can become, then teaching is among the highest callings. I believe our mission as teachers is to enrich our students’ lives and assist them to acquire knowledge and skills for their careers.
